Colonial Activity in South America
Completion requirements
See Figure 5.20. Francisco Pizzaro, a Spanish conquistador stationed in Panama, began colonizing South America after he landed in Peru in 1531 to search for gold and silver. Portuguese colonists sailed directly to South America from Portugal and seized land on the east coast of Brazil to expand their empire.
